Hydrogen is a diatomic element needing another one of its kind to be stable so another hydrogen atom would bond with it making H2, but there could be other elements that need just one electron to be happy can also bond with Hydrogen (like Fluorine, which makes Hydofluoric Acid).

How many hydrogen atoms would it take to make a stable compound with oxygen?
For the water molecule (H2O) two hydrogen atoms are needed.
What is the greatest number of hydrogen atoms in the hexane if only carbon and hydroge make up the hexane?
14 hydrogen atoms.
How many atoms make up hydrogen?
1
Does carbon and hydrogen make up propane?
Yes, (C3H8), 3 atoms of carbon and 8 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule of propane.
Why do two atoms combine?
elements combine with elements because they want to become the stablest form they can be (which is the noble gases) so they gain/lose electrons to get to being like a noble gas then they are stable and do not react
How many hydrogen atoms would it take to make a stable compound with oxygen?
For the water molecule (H2O) two hydrogen atoms are needed.
An oxygen atom needs how many hydrogen atoms to make itself stable?
Two.
How do hydrogen atoms make a covalant bond?
Two hydrogen atoms share their electrons; thus, both of them have two electrons each in their first shell and become stable.
Why does argon not form ions?
Atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration of electrons, which is stable. Argon already has such a configuration and is very stable as it is. Any gain or loss of electrons would make it less stable.
How many hydrogen atoms are necessary to join with oxygen to make it a stable compound?
Two hydrogen atoms need to be combined with one oxygen atom to form a molecule of water (H2O). Or you could have two hydrogen to two oxygen atoms, forming hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) but this is unstable and decomposes back to water and oxygen gas.
What elements make O stable?
Two hydrogen make Oxygen stable.
How can you make a hydrogen molecule?
We can make a hydrogen molecule by fusing 2 hydrogen atoms....!!
Is it the hydrogen atoms or carbon atoms that burns to make gas hot?
it is the hydrogen that burns to make gas hot
Do Hydrogen and helium atoms make up fifty percent of atoms in outer space?
Hydrogen and helium make about 98% of the atoms in the solar system !
What can you make with hydrogen?
Using only Hydrogen, you can make Hydrogen gas by combining two atoms of Hydrogen (H2).
What is the max number of covalent bonds nitrogen could make with hydrogen?
Four covalent, polar, bonds with H atoms in ammonium ion: NH4+ (the same configuration as CH4).
How is a molecule differ from an atom?
Atoms make up stable molecules. An atom is a single atom of an element. For example an atom of Helium(He) A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. So hydrogen in its natural state of H2 is a molecule containing two hydrogen atoms. Another example is H2O which contains to atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
